Why Am I So Fatigued?

With so much bruising, it sounds like your surgery was quite traumatic for you. You are still recovering and your body is using all of its energy to repair itself. That's why you're so tired. But I think you should see your surgeon just in case there's nothing abnormal. 

From the description it sounds as though there was significant physiologic insult from the operation. You should feel better by now. Check in with your surgeon. You might need some blood work done to make sure your metabolically stable.

It sounds like you had a pretty significant operation. I would strongly recommend a quick check up with your primary care physician to make sure your blood count and electrolytes are in order. If that all checks out, what you are experiencing can be normal. Patience and slowly increasing your activity on a daily basis should get you back to normal. Hang in there!

I think it is best that you see your surgeon or primary physician. Occasionally the amount of blood loss during an extensive lipo procedure is more than might be expected, and the large amount of bruising suggests that possibility. A check of your blood count may give an explanation for your symptoms. 

Otherwise some other evaluation might be needed. But a month you should be feeling quite normal.  All the best.
